Hello!

I am using PBR for a project and it has a submodule in 'mailpile/contrib/print'.

I am getting the following error at install: error: can't copy 'mailpile/contrib/print': doesn't exist or not a regular file

Indded, print is not a file. It is a folder, and it has stuff in it.

I tried including the contents of the folder with MANIFEST.

Just renaming the folder to 'potato' will fix the issue.

I think that it has to do with submodules files not being included by git ls-files, which is called by setuptools-git. But I haven't tested so far.

I have created a branch that I won't touch here: https://github.com/aviau/Mailpile/tree/pbr-bug
